Talk:University of Bucharest

Date of establishment

The article starts by saying the University of Bucharest was founded in 1864, yet the the infobox template says it was established in 1694 (the category at the bottom refers to Educational institutions established in 1864). So which one is it? I would go by the information provided by the University here, which seems to indicate 1864, though not completely clearly. Turgidson 03:26, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

3 new figures

I added 3 new physicists to the notable alumni list. I think they are important enough to take their place in that list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.208.174.72 (talk) 16:17, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Dear Sir/

    I would like more information about Surveying and Mapping Science course. I finished intermediate Diploma in Land Survey at Khartoum University. I wish if I find a place to complete my BSc in that course.

Thank you, Best Regards,

Resolving POV issues.

I removed the "Academic Scientific Research" section due to the - frankly bizare - level of bias. Not only is a blatant attempt to promote the university, but it's written in the first-person. There may be somehing salvagable from this section, but it wont amount to much.--THobern 09:20, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

An essential parameter of the teaching activity that defines the quality of the educational endeavour of the university’s teaching staff – scientific research – is the reference element which is encountered more and more often in all national and international rankings. It is also going to be one of the essential reference points which, sooner or later, will contribute to the hierarchization of higher-education institutions. And the most eloquent proof of appreciation shown to research at the University of Bucharest came—as we already had the opportunity to state—from the Times Higher Education Supplement, which placed our higher-education institution among the first 600 universities in the world for three years in a row and also from the Ad-Astra Society, which placed the University of Bucharest at the top when drawing the Map of Scientific Research in Romania.

We can present, to those interested, a summary of 2008’s scientific research carried out by the specialized departments, which is eloquent for the interest shown in this field by the 475 professors, 407 Ph.D supervisors, 699 researchers and 3,851 Ph.D students of the University of Bucharest throughout the year.

80 subventions have been given to national competitions (CNCSIS and the Romanian Academy) amounting to a total of RON 4,264,997 (approx. USD 1,421,666) and international contracts amounting 3,141,704 RON (approx. 1,047,235 USD). The 135 platforms and research centres of the university have 647 PN2 contracts, including those within the “Excellence in Research” Programme, whose value amounts to 69,766,979 RON (approx. 23,255,660 USD). There are seven works which are protected by patents and copyrights for the special value of the research topics.

The teaching and scientific interest and care of our academia is obviously not limited only to that. 1,392 teaching staff, researchers and Ph.D students have published 591 articles in CNCSIS publications and 430 in ISI magazines. Furthermore, 266 books were published by national publishing houses and another 42 reference volumes by some publishing houses from abroad. We cannot neglect any aspect of the teaching and research activity. This has to do with the essential contribution of the academia to the finalizing of the 315 Ph.D theses.

The 32 representatives of the University of Bucharest in the forum of the Romanian Academy, and three of their colleagues from the Academy of Technical, Medical and Agricultural Sciences or the Romanian Olympic Committee have also brought their special contribution to this panoply of scientific research.

Some suggestions

I propose the following changes to the University of Bucharest page. I hope it is ok to make a topic for each section I propose changes to.

Existing text History The original 1857 university main building, by Alexandru Orăscu Photograph from 1864 by Carol Szathmari The University of Bucharest was founded by the Decree no. 765 of 4 July 1864 by Alexandru Ioan Cuza and is a leading academic centre and a significant point of reference in society. The University of Bucharest is rich in history and has been actively contributing to the development and modernization of Romanian education, science, and culture since 1694. In 1694 Constantin Brâncoveanu, ruler of Wallachia, had founded the Princely Academy in Bucharest with lectures delivered in Greek. In 1776, Alexander Ypsilantis, ruler of Wallachia, reformed the curriculum of the Princely Academy, where courses of French, Italian, and Latin were now taught. After 1821, the Princely Academy was continued by the Saint Sava College. In 1857, Carol Davila and Nicolae Crețulescu created the National School of Medicine and Pharmacy. In 1859, the Faculty of Law was created. In 1857, the foundation stone of the University Palace in Bucharest was laid. On 4/16 July 1864, Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza established the University of Bucharest, bringing together the Faculties of Law, Sciences and Letters as one single body. In 1869, the Faculty of Medicine is created through the transformation of the National School of Medicine and Pharmacy. In the following years, new faculties were created: 1884 – the Faculty of Theology; 1906 – the Institute of Geology; 1913 – the Academic Institute for Electrotechnology; 1921 – the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine; 1923 – the Faculty of Pharmacy, 1924 – the Mina Minovici Institute of Forensic Medicine. In 1956, student leaders, mainly from this university, planned a peaceful protest against Romania's Communist regime but were forcibly prevented from carrying it out. (See Bucharest student movement of 1956). For a while (in the 1950s and early 1960s), it was called the "C. I. Parhon University", after Constantin Ion Parhon. Most of the building is still intact, however during the bombardments of Bucharest in 1944, the central corpus of the building was heavily damaged and demolished due to Luftwaffe bombs, and was only re-constructed in 1969–1971. Other sections were also completed by 1980. The area around the old University building (the University Square), adjacent to the C. A. Rosetti, Roman, Kogălniceanu, and Union squares was the scene of many riots, protests and clashes with the security forces during the Romanian Revolution of 1989. During the months of April–June 1990, the University of Bucharest was the centre of anti-communist protests. In 1996, Emil Constantinescu, the then rector of the University of Bucharest, was elected President of Romania, after defeating Ion Iliescu in the 1996 Romanian presidential election.

Proposed text History In 1694, advised by Constantin Cantacuzino, an illustrious humanist with studies in Padua, the Ruler of Wallachia, Constantin Brâncoveanu (1688–1714), founded in Bucharest the Princely Academy of St. Sava. Courses were taught in Greek. In 1818, Transylvanian bookman Gheorghe Lazăr established St. Sava School, a Romanian teaching school. In 1857, the fundamental stone of the University Palace was laid. Located in the University Square, the Palace was designed by Alexandru Orăscu, president of Romanian architects, following the model of Western Universities. In 1864, Ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza (1859–1866) established the University of Bucharest. The institution brings together the Faculties of Law, Sciences and Letters. In 1944, a long process of purging the University bodies, accompanied by abuses and retaliation from the new communist authorities, began. In 1948, the Education Reform Act was enacted, and the Soviet Model of Higher Education is grafted. Consequently, the extensive reorganization of UB begins: the Faculties of Theology, Human Medicine and Veterinary Medicine were detached from the University. The University Institutes are abolished, and new Institutes subordinated to the Academy of Romanian’s Popular Republic are created. In 1956, student leaders, mainly from this university, planned a peaceful protest against Romania's Communist regime but were forcibly prevented from carrying it out. (See Bucharest student movement of 1956). In 1989, following the abusive abolition of numerous departments and faculties, the University had only 6 faculties with 8000 students. The area around the old University building (the University Square), adjacent to the C. A. Rosetti, Roman, Kogălniceanu, and Union squares was the scene of many riots, protests and clashes with the security forces during the Romanian Revolution of 1989. During the months of April–June 1990, the University of Bucharest was the centre of anti-communist protests. In 1990, the process of rebirth of the University begins: new faculties were created, education was radically reorganized, new departments and research centres were established, the number of students significantly increased, international partnerships of UB were expanded. Year 1996 marks the adoption of the Charter of the University of Bucharest. In 2011, UB was classified by the Ministry of Education, Research, Youth and Sport as the first University for Advanced Research and Education in Romania. In 2014, the University of Bucharest celebrated its 150th anniversary with important members from the national and international academic community. In 2015, on the occasion of the 151st anniversary, UB reopened the Museum of the University for visitors, after a year of renovation, modernization and reorganization. In 2019, the University of Bucharest participated in the establishment of CIVIS alliance together with seven other prestigious European Universities: Aix-Marseille University, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Universita Sapienza di Roma, University of Stockholm, Universitat Eberhard Karls Tübingen. In 2021, CIVIS was joined by the University of Glasgow and the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made.  It's good that you have provided some general readings, but you will need to provide inline citations for the factual claims in your proposed text. Remember that Wikipedia writes about history in the past tense. Actualcpscm (talk) 08:20, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, thank you, I have changed it and also placed the references using ref tags. Hope that this is better. Irinaorla (talk) 09:24, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

I don't see those changes right now (?). As I mentioned on your talk page, it would be better to open a separate request or write your updated proposal separately from the old one. Actualcpscm (talk) 09:55, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

You can provide inline citations by putting them in a ref tag, like so: <ref>Your Reference or Cite template</ref>. See also WP:INCITE. As I mentioned above, Wikipedia writes about history in the past tense, so you will need to amend that. For example, "In 1864, Ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza (1859–1866) establishes the University of Bucharest" should be something like "The University was established in 1864 by Alexandru Ioan Cuza." Actualcpscm (talk) 08:38, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Suggestion for short presentation

I propose the following changes to the University of Bucharest page, for the short description section (the first one). I cannot, at all, insert correct citing probably because of TextDiff, have tried using ref tags and also cite web Template:Cite web , so I gave up Text diff in favor of citation using ref tags. Otherwise it doesn't show up as it should. Please feel free to suggest another way, if I put this in my own talk page would it be better?

Edit request

Existing text: The University of Bucharest (Romanian: Universitatea din București), commonly known after its abbreviation UB in Romania, is a public university founded in its current form on 4 July 1864 (158 years ago) by a decree of Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza to convert the former Princely Academy into the current University of Bucharest, making one of the oldest modern Romanian universities. It is one of the five members of the Universitaria Consortium (the group of elite Romanian universities). The University of Bucharest offers study programmes in Romanian and English and is classified as an advanced research and education university by the Ministry of Education. In the 2012 QS World University Rankings, it was included in the top 700 universities of the world, together with three other Romanian universities. New text: With a history of over 150 years, the University of Bucharest (Romanian: Universitatea din București, UB, UniBuc) has a long academic tradition. It gathers 19 faculties, with 97 undergraduate programs, 215 master’s programs, 9 didactic master’s programs, 21 doctoral schools in specific fields and a school for interdisciplinary doctoral studies, over 50 centers and 9 research units. The University of Bucharest includes many areas of study: Business and Administration, Biology, Chemistry, Law, Philosophy, Physics, Geography, Geology and Geophysics, History, Journalism and Communication Sciences, Foreign Languages ​​and Literatures, Letters, Mathematics and Computer Science, Psychology and Educational Sciences, Sociology and Social Work, Political Science, Orthodox Theology, Roman Catholic Theology and Baptist Theology. Specific text to be added or removed: I suggest the whole short description could be removed and replaced with the following text. -Reason for the change: This description includes some general facts about its study fields, history could be more detailed in History. World ranking is from 11 years ago, it is not so relevant for the short description since it is so old, can be included further in the page.

Ref 2 also needs a page number. Ref 4 seems to be a non-functional link, but the claim itself is fine with Ref 3. Ref 5 is not a particularly reliable source for history, but it's fine in my opinion. Ref 6 and 7 are good. I cannot access Ref 8. 9 and 10 are fine for supporting historical claims, but avoid WP:LOADED language such as "abusive". The paragraph starting "In 1990..." is written as creative prose. Encyclopedic language needs to be neutral and factual; see also the WP:Manual of Style. The paragraph starting "In 2011..." is sourced to a primary source from the university itself, which is not appropriate. The paragraph starting "In 2019..." is again sourced to a primary source, which is not appropriate here. There is a general problem, especially in coverage of recent years, with promotional language. "important members from the national and international academic community" and "prestigious European Universities", for example, are value judgements that are inappropriate unless they are cited from reliable sources and attributed as opinions. Remember WP:NPOV as an important guiding principle for all editing. I'm not sure what the intended purpose of "other references" is. If they support some of the claims in your text, you should provide them as inline citations as we discussed. Do you mean "Further readings", as in additional material for readers to consult? Actualcpscm (talk) 15:53, 31 May 2023 (UTC) Appreciate very much the directions.This is an updated version of the History section, tried to follow the guidance as much as possible.

In 1944, a long process of purging the University bodies, accompanied by abuses and retaliation from the new communist authorities, began. In 1948, the Education Reform Act was enacted, and the Soviet Model of Higher Education is grafted. Consequently, the extensive reorganization of UB begins: the Faculties of Theology, Human Medicine and Veterinary Medicine were detached from the University. The University Institutes are abolished, and new Institutes subordinated to the Academy of Romanian’s Popular Republic are created. In 1956, student leaders, mainly from this university, planned a peaceful protest against Romania's Communist regime but were forcibly prevented from carrying it out. (See Bucharest student movement of 1956). In 1989, following the abolition of numerous departments and faculties, the University had only 6 faculties with 8000 students. The area around the old University building (the University Square), adjacent to the C. A. Rosetti, Roman, Kogălniceanu, and Union squares were the scene of many riots, protests and clashes with the security forces during the Romanian Revolution of 1989. During the months of April–June 1990, the University of Bucharest was the centre of anti-communist protests. In 1990, The University of Bucharest was reorganized, new faculties were created, new departments and research centers were established. The number of students increased and international partnerships of UB were expanded. Year 1996 marks the adoption of the Charter of the University of Bucharest In 2011, UB was classified by the Ministry of Education, Research, Youth and Sport as the first University for Advanced Research and Education in Romania. In 2014, the University of Bucharest celebrated its 150th anniversary with important members from the national and international academic community. In 2015, on the occasion of the 151st anniversary, UB reopened the Museum of the University for visitors, after a year of renovation, modernization and reorganization. In 2019, the University of Bucharest participated in the establishment of CIVIS alliance together with seven other European Universities: Aix-Marseille University, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Universita Sapienza di Roma, University of Stockholm, Universitat Eberhard Karls Tübingen. In 2021, CIVIS was joined by the University of Glasgow and the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg.

Suggestion for short presentation

Hello, I propose the following changes to the University of Bucharest page, for the short description section (the first one). Please let me know if there is anything more needed. Also, sorry for being unable to use TextDiff because of the ref tags. Thank you.

Existing text:

The University of Bucharest (Romanian: Universitatea din București), commonly known after its abbreviation UB in Romania, is a public university founded in its current form on 4 July 1864 (159 years ago) by a decree of Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza to convert the former Princely Academy into the current University of Bucharest, making one of the oldest modern Romanian universities. It is one of the five members of the Universitaria Consortium (the group of elite Romanian universities). The University of Bucharest offers study programmes in Romanian and English and is classified as an advanced research and education university by the Ministry of Education. In the 2012 QS World University Rankings, it was included in the top 700 universities of the world, together with three other Romanian universities.

Proposed text:

With a history of over 150 years, the University of Bucharest (Romanian: Universitatea din București, UB, UniBuc) has a long academic tradition.   It gathers 19 faculties, with 97 undergraduate programs, 215 master’s programs, 9 didactic master’s programs, 21 doctoral schools in specific fields and a school for interdisciplinary doctoral studies, over 50 centers and 9 research units.

The University of Bucharest includes areas of study such as Business and Administration, Biology, Chemistry, Law, Philosophy, Physics, Geography, Geology and Geophysics, History, Journalism and Communication Sciences, Foreign Languages ​​and Literatures, Letters, Mathematics and Computer Science, Psychology and Educational Sciences, Sociology and Social Work, Political Science, Orthodox Theology, Roman Catholic Theology and Baptist Theology.

 Declined The proposed text, which is referenced exclusively by the University, is not an improvement over the existing text. In addition to its violation of MOS:LEAD, it appears to be very similar to information that is already available on the university's own website, or elsewhere in the main body of the article in a sufficient amount. As it mainly mentions the different areas of study offered, it is promotional in nature, and not appropriate for the lead section. Regards,  Spintendo  15:17, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the feedback! Will look into it more to have a better contribution.

Would, for example, more recent rankings be an improvement for this part, or a little more summarized history?

Another question- for pictures, if I wish to replace/add pictures on this page, should I make a separate edit request? Irinaorla (talk) 08:13, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
